@StyxTBuferd

As someone who's played both versions a lot, the two games are incredibly different, even though the main mechanisms are the exact same. The stations make blocking a worse strategy and adds to the importance of claiming longer routes- to balance this, the Europe version only has 1 route of distance 6 and 1 route of distance 8 (both of which are tunnels), with all the remaining routes being 4 or less. The U.S. version had a LOT of routes of 5 and 6, usually meaning that whoever claimed them won (especially true if they received the Seattle-New York or Vancouver-Montreal routes). Thus the Europe version is more balanced in this way. The Europe version also makes better use of the wild cards through the ferry routes, and requires more set collection for the tunnels, making it a slower, more strategic game in that sense. Finally, everyone gets 4 routes to choose from instead of 3 at the start of the game, one of which is a guaranteed long route worth around 20 points (that they may or may not keep), while the remainder are short routes usually worth 10 or less. Again, this ensures no one is forced to pick two incredibly long, impossible to complete routes, or force to be stuck with 3 short routes that wont award anything at all once complete (like Denver-El Paso or New York-Atlanta). It is, in essentially every respect, a much much better game. I love the original, but between the U.S. version and the Europe version I'd pick Europe any day.

StyxTBuferd Oh, and one extra thing: The original TtR had really small, Settlers of Catan sized cards. The Europe version has much nicer, fuller sized cards (though you can get normal cards for the original through the 1910 expansion).

First off, he never said "This game is really different," he said more along the lines of "This game has similar gameplay to Ticket to Ride, but has some upgraded game mechanics." Secondly, you mentioned only ONE of the new elements in TTR Europe. For routes over water, you need to use at least 1 wildcard, and for routes through tunnels you may have to pay additional cards to complete them, both of these rules weren't in the original version of the game.

Fun game with a bonus geography and history lesson. I stayed for the end and was gratified to see Anne Wheaton do what I hoped she would do.

Great game! We don't do any scoring until the end, so we don't have to worry about knocking the counters on the edge of the board. So we score longest route, everyone declares route cards, then each player scores segments (e.g. 1 x 6 long = 15pts, plus 4 x 4 long = 28pts, etc), removing trains from the board as they are counted. Also it is often easier to count how long a player's longest route is by starting with the number of trains in their pool, and subtracting those they haven't played, and any on the board that don't count towards their longest.

Anne rocks and it isn't selfish to have her on the show at Will. The whole point of your show is to get people, especially families playing tabletop together. Just make sure she keeps sitting on her hands LOL. Thanks for keeping the show going and for yet again inspiring us to spend quality time with the people that matter to us.

Out of all the G&S Vlogs this is the one I wait for. Honestly, I have to thank Wil Wheaton for reigniting my love for board games and face to face human interaction. My family and I now have set aside one weekend day out of the week to play board or card games. So as I stand here humble and contrite for disliking Wil solely for his role of Weasly Crusher (have liked you in everything else though) and sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now look foward to seeing Wil weekly on Tabletop.

Loved having Anne Wheaton back on the show again!

Ok... so I was one of the "Ticket to Ride!!! Again?!" crowd. But I'm watching this episode for the 3rd time now, and I've still got a massive smile on my face. I am now of the opinion that it doesn't matter what game is being played... as long as you're having fun.

anyone agree that wil's wife's board mess up was one of the best ever moments in tabletop so far(feeling bad for whoever had to reset it aside)

Ok, the chipmunk counting voice was hilarious. Must. Use. Always.

Anne: "Why do I have all these cards that don't work?" Wil: "Because the game thinks you're me :)" Anne: "Wrong Wheaton!"

Oh Anne, you stay awesome and destroy however you like xD

I almost closed the video before Anne came in at the end there. Glad I didn't! For all the people that read comments before finishing the video, this comment comes spoiler free, but watch through the credits! :D

great episode Will but i'm begging you for an episode with the following guest: You, Anne, Felicia, and Nathan Fillion!!! it would be soooooo good!!! please?

Friend Wheaton: just wanted to stop by and say a MASSIVE thank you for bringing me into the board gaming fold and, in turn, allowing me the joy of sharing my love for the hobby with friends and family. Thanks to you and this show (along with several other KZread sites), I now have THREE consistent gaming groups that meet throughout the month... all filled with newly-Christened gamers. Graci, Will... keep up the good work!

I know that traditional pen & paper RPGs are often a little too time intensive for this show. That said, have y'all ever considered going old skool and breaking out the old red box version of D&D? It plays a lot faster than more modern RPGs & for those of us who got started way back in the day it'd be a lot of fun to watch.

Usually, as someone who is a big fan of boardgames, without the means to play them nearly as much as I'd like, I am big fan of this show and thus Wil, for introducing them to people in a funny manner. So, typically I hope for him to win. This episode though? Maybe it was as he said, I am very much a 'play to have fun, don't play to win that ruins the point' kind of person, so him acting against that made me want anyone but him to win today. Just desserts as it were. Also, the ending was hilarious. Everything from the facial expressions after the fist comes down to the sheer joy in tossing all those trains ever-where. Great stuff.

The original "Ticket to Ride" has become our go-to game when I visit my folks a few times a month. It's just complex enough to appeal to us as adults, yet simple enough to always be fun without being frustrating. We've been looking into getting "Ticket to Ride: Europe" and maybe the "1910" and Asia maps expansions. I'm trying to work them up to trying "Munchkin" and "Betrayal at House on the Hill" at some point.

yay more Anne! such an amazing and fun gal! another great episode to tuck under the Tabletop belt.

I feel like Ticket to Ride is one of those games that is more fun to play than watch. And they skipped over so much of the game play and internal strategy of it in this episode that I got lost really fast.

I like to count places when advancing my pawn even if it's not a long way. So gratifying :)

In various episodes and extended versions, I have seen Wil speculate that, in addition to his often terrible luck with dice rolls and card draws, he may also lose more frequently because 1) the directors are giving him other things to think about at the same time as he's trying to manage his own strategy (like pacing, i.e. the amount of chit chat), and 2) he is often too helpful advising his competitors.

33:05 LOL I lover her so much for this!!!!

That was the best episode yet! I think this was partly because Wil wasn't filling every gap with talking/joking (because he was taking the game so seriously) which allowed everyone else to have their space and do their own talking/joking.

You guys should do a "family feud" episode where Wil and his family go against Felcia and her brother. Wheaton vs. Day!!!

Anne Wheaton is so ridiculously cute!!!

I love games like this that can seem fairly one-sided during the actual gameplay, but end up very close, with the winner only determined after all the bonuses are counted up at the end. So happy to see games like this one and Carcassonne on TableTop.

I love Anne's "HWOOGH" when Wil dumps his mug.

Damnit, I was going to go to bed, but I suppose that isn't going to happen for the next 40 minutes.

That looks like a great game. Did no one play a train station? No matter the final score, Anne won at the end, as far as I'm concerned. That was awesome. :}

I cannot get enough of how happy she looks there at the end, after sweeping those trains off the table. XD
